Why should they “leave” anywhere? They have just as much right to be anywhere in public as you do. I will increase my donations to individuals and to food pantries that I support. I am teaching my children to do the same.
Using your own words it is clear that places that do not support their own homeless are the reason why they migrate and concentrate in certain areas. If you don’t like it then you should support a large increase in local support so that the imbalances that lead to migration are not exacerbated.
